Jay Z Shuts Down 40/40 Club in New York


Jay Z closes the doors on the 40/40 club in New York after 20 years in business...

From The Sun
A NIGHTCLUB owned by rapper Jay Z has closed after 20 years following a $10million renovation.
The 40/40 Club, which opened in New York City in 2003, shuttered in July but has plans to reopen in a new location.
The venue has plans to reopen in 2024 in a new location.
Andrea Thomas, a spokesperson for the company, shared the intended future plans with Eater New York.
The 40/40 Club underwent a $10million renovation in 2012.
Jay-Z told Rolling Stone at the time: “I wanted to retain the feel of a clubhouse, a relaxed place to interact with friends."
The renovation was meant to help the club keep up with other, newer venues in the area.
Eventually, the club grew into a chain of bars and restaurants, including one in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
But then, a lawsuit claimed that the company behind the venues owed over $115,000.
The money was from unpaid rent and additional charges, according to Eater.
Despite the 40/40 Club's Manhattan closure, a location at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn remains open, arena spokesperson Jake Spitz told Eater.

Didn't it already come out that Jay was more of the name not the owner. Juan Perez is the majority owner of the club. First the Made in America tour is cancelled now this. I guess Bey will be covering the mortgage this month.

Went to 40/40 a fews times (before renovation). Bathroom was a nasty unisex unsanitary mess. Big white couches everywhere (I will say that I always went on a PPV boxing event night - this was early 2000’s and admission was free), however, there was no where to walk or stand. The main bar had the energy of a prison cafeteria. There was a smaller bar and room for dancing in the back. Security were bullies, overly aggressive assholes. Drinks were wayyyy over priced especially for that time. Speed, Exit, Madame X, Star Lounge, Joe’s Cafe, Slate 23, and The Belmont Lounge, I loved those clubs. The Tunnel was for ex-cons and girls who carried weight in their cooch.

Didn't someone get raped in that club?

I think he’s been going out for basquiat’s hair style and he’s coming along. Why would this be a wig if we’ve watched it grow out as wonky as it has been?

If he is impersonating Basquiat, is that his low-key way of pushing the homosexual agenda? He didn't want to be loud as Drake wearing nail polish.
